    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that part of the land allocated to the Kenya Industrial Estate in Kisumu was allocated to a private developer, who has since fenced it off. (b) The allocation of this land to a private developer does not mean that the Industrial Estate, Kisumu, which was meant to assist entrepreneurs has collapsed. (c) The Ministry of Trade and Industry in liaison with the Kenya Industrial Estates has undertaken and is taking measures to repossess the land and revive the estate as follows:- (1) It has also diligently pursued the revocation of the allocation of the piece of land to the private developer as it is indicated in the Ndungu Report on the illegal/irregular allocation of public land. (2) The Ministry has also ensured that the industrial sheds constructed on the portion of land owned by the Kenya Industrial Estates are fully utilised by the entrepreneurs allocated to them. (3) It has also ensured that the Kenya Industrial Estates offices at Kisumu are operating, so as to serve all entrepreneurs in Kisumu, Nyando, Rachuonyo, Siaya and Bondo Districts. (4) Measures have been taken for the expansion of the Industrial Estate once funds are availed, so that the overwhelming demand for industrial work space in the zone and in the country as a whole is met."
